"unresolved external symbol" error in Visual Studio 2013 - c++

I am trying to use the libnoise library, which is a c++ library for perlin noise generation, in Visual Studio 2013. Tutorial 3 links to an addon utility called noiseutils, which consists of a .cpp and a .h, which I place here:
I have the project settings pointed towards the include folder (whose contents are in the image below), and my code looks like this.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <noise/noise.h>
#include "noiseutils.h"
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
noise::module::Perlin myModule;
utils::NoiseMap heightMap;
utils::NoiseMapBuilderPlane heightMapBuilder;
heightMapBuilder.SetSourceModule(myModule);
heightMapBuilder.SetDestNoiseMap(heightMap);
heightMapBuilder.SetDestSize(256, 256);
heightMapBuilder.SetBounds(2.0, 6.0, 1.0, 5.0);
heightMapBuilder.Build();
utils::RendererImage renderer;
utils::Image image;
renderer.SetSourceNoiseMap(heightMap);
renderer.SetDestImage(image);
renderer.Render();
utils::WriterBMP writer;
writer.SetSourceImage(image);
writer.SetDestFilename("tutorial.bmp");
writer.WriteDestFile();
return 0;
}
All of that code is given in the third tutorial provided on their website. Visual Studio has no complaints that it cannot find any of the classes or functions specified in all of this code. However, when I try to build the project...

In short, Visual Studio can't find any of the stuff in "noiseutils" while it's actually building. What am I doing wrong here?
UPDATE:
After copying noiseutils.cpp to my source folder as suggested by Praetorian, I get this set of warnings, and a single error:

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
I looked up this problem and discovered that I can simply disable using precompiled headers for noiseutils.cpp since it doesn't need access to stdafx. With that, problem solved.
Out of curiosity though, what is stdafx and what role does it play in a Visual Studio project? Would I need to disable precompiled headers for any source code that I add to my project so that it ignores stdafx?

Right click -> Proprieties -> C++ -> Additional Include Directories and add your headers location
Right click -> Add -> Existing Item -> Add your files
If you want
Right click -> Add -> New Filter and you put the files there

How to include Microsoft detours library in visual studio

I am trying to use the detours library in a visual studio empty windows project. I cloned the repository (https://github.com/microsoft/Detours), I added the include directory into Project Properties / C/C++ / Additional Include Directories, and I added the lib.X86 directory into Project Properties / Linker / Additional Library Directories. I get no errors visible on the file, but when I build I get
1>Source.cpp

Which looks like the library wasn't included correctly. How do I properly include the detours library into a visual studio project and what am I doing wrong?
You need to add the specific .lib file, which I'm guessing is "detours.lib" (or similar) to the "Additional Dependencies" line.

I've tried remove and add *.h files to project as mentioned in this post but I got same errors. Mentioned post also says that those errors can be found in some log but I cannot find it. Thanks

OgreFramework project -> Right click -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories -> <edit> -> Macros -> $(IntDir) shows:

Problem solved. I had also included in a solution explorer filter which contained other version of BaseApplication.cpp and BaseApplication.cpp (because I've copied project and not created new one) which caused overwriting my original BaseApplication.cpp and BaseApplication.h.

How to use lacewing project

I am a newbie to C++. I want to use, lacewing-project.org in my C++ project. I read the documentation on how to build it and successfully did it using both DLL - Release and Static Library - Release configurations.
Now I don't know how to use this in my project and how to setup and configure my project? I was following this tutorial, but was stuck in the middle because of missing options in the latest Visual Studio. I use Visual C++ Expression Ed., 2012 on Windows 8
I googled and did the following:
Added the lib file and the lacewing.h file in my project.
Under Visual C++ Project Properties, in the Linker folder -> Input I added the lib file as Additional Dependencies.
I placed the dll in Windows\System32 folder. Will I need to do anything with the dll other than placing it in win32 folder?
My code is from the hello world example given in the documentation.
When I try to compile I get:

Please help...
To link statically with the library, one must define lw_import. If you don't do this, it will default to __declspec(dllimport):
#ifndef lw_import
#define lw_import __declspec (dllimport)
#endif
which causes the linker to try and pull the functions in from a DLL (which is wrong when statically linking). To do this, you can either add lw_import= to your preprocessor definitions in the project properties, or #define it before including lacewing.h, as so:
#define lw_import
#include <lacewing.h>
As you're statically linking the library, you will also need to link any library dependencies into your own project. You can find the list in the project properties of liblacewing.vcproj itself, but as of 0.5.1 these are ws2_32.lib, mswsock.lib, mpr.lib, secur32.lib and crypt32.lib.

A slight issue with GLFW (x64)

I am currently working on converting some of my applications to C++, and for that i have decided to use openGL, as ive got some experience with it from other platforms.
But getting this to compile in x64 seems to be quite a lot of hassle. To check if my linking stuff is working i am just trying to compile this tutorial:
http://www.opengl-tutorial.org/beginners-tutorials/tutorial-1-opening-a-window/
But as you can see, i failed miserably. I have downloaded and installed:
freeglut
GLM
GLFW
GLEW
The issue clearly seems to lay within GLFW. I am using Visual express c++ 2010.
I installed GLFW like this:
GLFW.dll (System32)
glfw.h (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Include\gl)
GLFW.lib (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Lib\x64)
GLFWDLL.lib (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Lib\x64)
My linker:
kernel32.lib;glu32.lib;glew32.lib;GLFW.lib;GLFWDLL.lib;opengl32.lib;user32.lib;gdi32.lib;winspool.lib;comdlg32.lib;advapi32.lib;shell32.lib;ole32.lib;oleaut32.lib;uuid.lib;odbc32.lib;odbccp32.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)
